Skunk Train and Chiggen Arriving at Fort Bragg Depot
The skunk train runs daily and is mainly headed by a GP9 Elctro-Motive Diesel. On the weekends of August and September, it operates "Days of Steam," when the diesel is swapped out for a steam locomotive. We timed our visit to take part in the Days of Steam. During our visit, the train was headed by a 1909 HK Proter 0-4-0T Locomotive lovingly called "The Chiggen."
